Psalms 113

Tehillim

Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. {Praise ye...: Heb. Hallelujah}

2Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.

3From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name {is} to be praised.

4The LORD {is} high above all nations, {and} his glory above the heavens.

5Who {is} like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, {dwelleth...: Heb. exalteth himself to dwell}

6Who humbleth {himself} to behold {the things that are} in heaven, and in the earth!

7He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, {and} lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;

8That he may set {him} with princes, {even} with the princes of his people.

9He maketh the barren woman to keep house, {and to be} a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD. {to keep...: Heb. to dwell in an house}
